He 100% needed a fresh start somewhere else. Whether it's mental blocks or poor conditioning programs on part of the Sox' coaching (what I most suspect given the team's pitcher-injury issues for the past several years), the rebound just wasn't going to happen in Boston. Really hoping he finally captures his elusive white whale this year.
I think Sale is also a really good guy to have in Spencer's corner as he's dealing with his injury. you've got someone who's gone through it and is proving you can come back just as good if not better
I feel like this season has cemented Sale has what he was all along but often forgotten about by fans. He is one of the mostly dominant pitchers of his generation but was stuck in the shadow of Kershaw, Verlander, and Scherzer. Now he’s no longer in their shadow but standing right next to them as an all time great pitcher. Sale’s carer could have been even better if not for unfortunate injuries.
I would argue, “rightfully” forgotten about, as he was dealing with injuries and covid disrupted the world starting in 2020. 2023 was basically his first year back since 2019. That was basically his whole Red Sox contract. Kershaw, Verlander, and Scherzer owned the 2010s, as they all won multiple Cy Youngs and were on multiple playoff teams (2010s Dodgers, 2010s Nats, and early 2010s Tigers).
I honestly wasn’t surprised by this in any way, as soon as he got extended by the Braves I was like oh this dudes winning cy young. That’s just how it is for the Braves they never do anything wrong lol plus he’s an insane talent
As a Braves fan, respect for this comment. To pay it back, you guys have been playing out of your minds and if you make the playoffs this year (highly likely) it would be literally insane given you were supposed to be rebuilding for a couple more years
@@NDTexan I understand your reasons to think the Mets will make the playoffs as normal logic would say that however after so many years rooting for this franchise I know we will be swept by your Braves Monday and knocked out as how life goes!
As a Red Sox fan, and someone that's been a huge Chris Sale fan since before he was even a member of the Red Sox, I'm not surprised by this at all.. I always said "If Chris Sale can ever get healthy he's still going to dominate, if you watched the Red Sox games he still showed flashes that he still had this in him, he just wasn't healthy. Sale also is just a great pitcher, I wouldn't be surprised if he continues to dominate for another 3 years.
Not only did Chris Sale make a comeback, but he was dominant just prior to and immediately following the “dead era” of baseball. For people like me who loved baseball, hated what it became and were ready to love it again with the rule changes…I’m happy to see him dominating across eras
Thanks for giving love to Chris Sale. I’ve been watching baseball for almost a decade now, and I remember when he was in his prime. I always knew he still had it in him, if he could just get healthy. Now he gets the award he’s long deserved. P.S.? Good job Jolly in the floorball tourney so far 🥳🥳🥳
As a Sox fan who really couldn't be happier for Sale, I believe it is. A truly dominant pitcher, top 5 of the 2010's, and this season's comeback cements it. The ace of one of the 21st century's best teams, and even closed out the WS.
@@reptarinator I’m rooting for you brother it sucks to lose your ace RIGHT at the start of the postseason and as a Yankee fan I know the pain of not having an ace
As a Red Sox fan, we only traded him to save money. We got virtually nothing (Vaughn Grissom) in return. He's played maybe 20 games I think. If we'd had him this year, it's possible we make the playoffs.
As a phillies fan, I thought for sure this was the year Zach wheeler would get his Cy young. Sale has been incredible and while I hate him for it, he did earn it (barring sale getting blown up for 9 runs in his last start 🙏( if he even makes one) ).
It's either going to be Sale or Wheeler for the NL Cy. Probably Sale because of the more impressive rate stats, but it's really nice that one of them will finally win it.
Yup I got the guess wrong. My answer to the lefty he allowed the homer to I guessed a catcher already named in the video not the 2-way SS what a shocker.
Sale finally getting his Cy young over another elite starter that's going to have his 2nd top 2 finish is fitting. Wonder when wheeler is finally going to get it or if he'll always miss just slightly
I've always wondered if more pitchers could a la Ohtani. They had to know how to hit before coming up to the majors. If they practiced could they still do it?
Love the content Jolly Olive! Been watching for the past year or two! I was thinking today of Jeff Samardzija. How he has such a unique story of being a top college WR and instead chose the baseball route. Thought it would be a cool story to cover!
When it comes to premium starting pitchers, there is definitely a trend of which fans only expect them to perform well every other year. When the elbow surgery is taken into consideration, the bar gets lower to once in every three years.
Imagine if we can keep Fried and have a rotation next year of Strider, Sale, Schewllenbach, Fried and ReyLo. That’s the best rotation in the NL at minimum imo
I always loved his expression right before he throws the final pitch to strike out Machado. The 2 had a history and Sale embarrassed him on the grandest stage
had Sale come up with almost any other team than the Why Sox, he would have been dominant for years. Imagine him coming up with LA or Atlanta, with good coaching, good strength and conditioning coaching, good farm system, and good management. But he came up in a system that sees stupidity as a feature. What team a player comes up with is as important to MLB pitchers as it is to NFL QBs.
Damn man. I’m happy for Chris’ success, but I wish he could’ve stayed healthy and put performances like this together for the Sox in the last 5 years 😕
I'm just sad as a Phillies fan that Wheeler has had 2 Cy Young-caliber seasons but has been beaten out by someone ever better both times :( can't say Sale didn't earn it though
It took his arm how many years to recover? That is the problem, depending on how bad the muscles and tendons were damaged prior to the surgery. The surgery is a gamble, doesn't seem they even measure the state of the arm's interiors prior to doing it.
Yeah now people are just going to forget about it because he got injured and wasn't available for the playoffs. Not like they would have done anything because of their ramshackle offense.

Man, as a Red Sox fan I can’t be anything but happy for Sale … the one thing that’s evaded him his entire career, he finally has.
Props to you for being a good sport, I am far too petty to have that mindset if my team was paying 9 million to not have the NL Cy Young winner.
As a white Sox fan I am too, he’s still one of my favorite plays of all time
He 100% needed a fresh start somewhere else. Whether it's mental blocks or poor conditioning programs on part of the Sox' coaching (what I most suspect given the team's pitcher-injury issues for the past several years), the rebound just wasn't going to happen in Boston. Really hoping he finally captures his elusive white whale this year.
As a Atlanta braves fan I can think you for give him away let's go braves ❤😂😂😂
Too bad he was injured like 90% of the time when he was with the Sox but I guess I'm just bitter
The Jacob deGrom tidbit is actually wild lmao
I think Sale is also a really good guy to have in Spencer's corner as he's dealing with his injury. you've got someone who's gone through it and is proving you can come back just as good if not better
When Sale is healthy, he's really good. Like really good. This is just the first season in while he's been fully healthy.
I feel like this season has cemented Sale has what he was all along but often forgotten about by fans. He is one of the mostly dominant pitchers of his generation but was stuck in the shadow of Kershaw, Verlander, and Scherzer. Now he’s no longer in their shadow but standing right next to them as an all time great pitcher. Sale’s carer could have been even better if not for unfortunate injuries.

Agreed. I absolutely adore Chris Sale. Frankly, I can’t forgive the Red Sox for giving up on this man.
so early jolly give me a kiss
As baseball fans no matter our favorite team, we are all happy for the mad man Chris Sale. I hope we get one more good season out of Degrom

P.S.? Good job Jolly in the floorball tourney so far 🥳🥳🥳
I'm a Red Sox and Braves so seeing Sale return to form is great to see.
So many pictures revive their careers in Atlanta. I knew this was going to happen when they acquired him in the off-season.
Hoping this punches a ticket to Cooperstown for him 🙏
Probably needs a couple more seasons close to this type of output. This season I think puts him right at the borderline
As a Sox fan who really couldn't be happier for Sale, I believe it is. A truly dominant pitcher, top 5 of the 2010's, and this season's comeback cements it. The ace of one of the 21st century's best teams, and even closed out the WS.
I think he needs just 3 or 4 more seasons of 3+ WAR. Though two more dominant seasons with a similar output would also do the trick.
Greatest pitcher I've ever seen in person.
Nice timing
5:32 2019 Mariners for the first month were the best team of all time. Shout out Edwin Encarnacion, Tim Beckham, and Jay Bruce.
next video on this channel should be covering Jolly’s own legendary floorball tournament at the warehouse 😅
He ate the souls of half the Atlanta roster
Ngl I didn’t know Chris Sale was having that good of a year
2:41 MLB the show players who play with announcers on knew that one instantly
Thanks for such a dope video
So who’s here after he isn’t pitching in the Braves biggest game of the year?
Holmes fuckin killed it tho.
@@reptarinatormore like the Mets didn’t have nothing to play for and rested their best players

The title here really kinda stings with "btw he just got hurt again"

It's either going to be Sale or Wheeler for the NL Cy. Probably Sale because of the more impressive rate stats, but it's really nice that one of them will finally win it.
Amazing video as always! I do debate whether Sale or deGrom is the ace of injuries
Oh what two days can do.
WE LOVE SALE
Sale has arguably kept the braves in the playoff race... Braves are looking good right now, but it's far from over..
Baja blast is the best Mountain Dew flavor

Wrong Undisputed Champ!
@@bagofgroceriesyou mean undisputed universal heavyweight champion right?
I really love sale slider, so nasty pitch!
Speaking of even more silver medals:
Chris Sale is 2nd in MLB history in K/9 behind Blake Snell, and 2nd in MLB history in K/BB behind Jacob deGrom
Yup I got the guess wrong. My answer to the lefty he allowed the homer to I guessed a catcher already named in the video not the 2-way SS what a shocker.
Sale finally getting his Cy young over another elite starter that's going to have his 2nd top 2 finish is fitting. Wonder when wheeler is finally going to get it or if he'll always miss just slightly
So glad the Sox are paying Sale to pitch a cy young season for another team
9:08, 26 walks by Snell? Did I read that right?
Lol
He's a modern day Nolan Ryan
That's Blake Snell for you
This aged like a full time alcoholic

I knew he gave up the homerun to deGrom because of MLB The Show 2023. I used the Rangers and every time degrom would pitch they would mention it
Oh hell yeah
Zack wheeler deserves some cy young talk
Wheeler's going to make it close, but I do think Chris has this. Also, 🎶Adrenaline in my soul...🎶

As a red sox fan im not even mad about the trade. With how he looked in boston there was no way he couldof done this on the redsox
Its insane Sale is doing this in his walk year too whomever gives him his next contract better pay him what hes worth.
Braves actually gave him an extension for next year with '26 club option before the season started.
9:06 degrom being 2-2 while allowing 2 earned runs..
I am sure there's a number of Red Sox fans who put down some good money on Sale winning the Cy Young the minute he left Boston.
Where’s the video about the Tigers??
Ageing like fine milk
He hasn't, he injured his back and will not pitch against San Diego
11:37 That call was atrocious.
this is a reverse jinx
F**k the Mets

why did I have to drop him from my fantasy team 😢
Now all he needs is 3000k to get in the hall of fame

Yeah now people are just going to forget about it because he got injured and wasn't available for the playoffs. Not like they would have done anything because of their ramshackle offense.

Just saying? I knew Dave Pavlas before it was cool 😤 Cubs and Yankees pitcher during the 90s
Of course he's fully healthy again pitching like vintage Sale when he leaves the Sox 🙄
The Braves had to sacrifice the health of their entire roster in-order to get Chris Sale healthy enough for a Cy Young
It's really so sad to hit on Lopez and Sale while everyone else goes down. I just keep thinking what could have been...
Does the cold have to do with it at all? He got hurt in boston and his first year in atl hes completely heslthy
